Ek het dringend stabiliteit, ondersteuning en leiding nodig gehad. Wat aanvanklik net \u0149 plek van veiligheid was, het vinnig vir my \u0149 tuiste geword waar ek hoop, struktuur en nuwe moed gevind het.<\/p>\n<p>Met die liefdevolle sorg en volgehoue ondersteuning van al die personeel en maatskaplike werkers kon ek op my skoolwerk fokus en in 2021 my matriek suksesvol voltooi. Dit was \u0149 belangrike mylpaal wat nuwe deure vir my oopgemaak het. In 2022 het ek my studies in BA Regte by STADIO begin, met voortgesette ondersteuning van die kinderhuis.<\/p>\n<p>In 2024 het ek my BA-graad in Regte suksesvol voltooi, \u0149 prestasie wat vir my veel meer as net \u0149 akademiese kwalifikasie beteken. Dit was die resultaat van harde werk, deursettingsvermo\u00eb en die onwrikbare ondersteuning wat ek oor die jare ontvang het. In 2025 het ek die volgende stap in my akademiese reis geneem deur vir \u0149 LLB-graad in te skryf.<\/p>\n<p>Ek is diep dankbaar teenoor die Abraham Kriel Kinderhuis Nylstroom vir die finansi\u00eble en emosionele ondersteuning wat my in staat gestel het om my drome te verwesenlik. Die kinderhuis het nie net vir my \u0149 veilige tuiste gebied nie, maar ook liefde, leiding en die geleentheid om weer in myself en my toekoms te glo. Dit het die grondslag geword waarop ek vandag my lewe en my toekoms bou.<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><script id=\"script-row-unique-0\" data-row=\"script-row-unique-0\" type=\"text\/javascript\" class=\"vc_controls\">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById(\"row-unique-0\"));<\/script><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My reis het in 2019 as 'n graad 10-leerder by die Abraham Kriel Kinderhuis Nylstroom begin.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":115355,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_thinkrank_schema_form_data":"","_thinkrank_selected_schema_type":"","_thinkrank_additional_schemas":"","_thinkrank_canonical_url":"","_thinkrank_og_title":"","_thinkrank_og_description":"","_thinkrank_og_image":"","_thinkrank_twitter_title":"","_thinkrank_twitter_description":"","_thinkrank_twitter_image":"","_thinkrank_imported_from":"","_thinkrank_focus_keywords":[],"_thinkrank_focus_keyword":"","_thinkrank_robots_meta_enabled":0,"_thinkrank_robots_meta":"","_thinkrank_advanced_robots_meta":"","_thinkrank_exclude_from_search":0,"_thinkrank_exclude_from_archives":0,"_thinkrank_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[71,73],"tags":[76,78,242],"class_list":["post-115373","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-in-the-news","category-newsletters","tag-recent-news","tag-newsletters","tag-featured"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/akknyl.co.za\/af\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115373","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/akknyl.co.za\/af\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/akknyl.co.za\/af\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/akknyl.co.za\/af\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/akknyl.co.za\/af\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=115373"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/akknyl.co.za\/af\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115373\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":115379,"href":"https:\/\/akknyl.co.za\/af\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115373\/revisions\/115379"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/akknyl.co.za\/af\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/115355"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/akknyl.co.za\/af\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=115373"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/akknyl.co.za\/af\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=115373"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/akknyl.co.za\/af\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=115373"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
